Safari Holidays

Words cannot express the magical awe creating moments that Safari Holidays bring. We’ve carefully organised a wide range of safari holiday packages that will provide an abundance of once in a lifetime opportunities. Flying to eight different African safari destinations, you can choose to venture into vast national parks by jeep, soar across the savannah in a private plane or scuba dive Africa’s aquatic worlds. After a fun and exhilarating day connecting with nature, retire to the luxury of a South African safari lodge. Take the time to relax and unwind, soak your muscles in a heavenly bath and dine by candlelight on a private veranda where you’ll see the sun set like never before, glowing across the breathtaking savannah.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All Collapse All

For a chance to track the Big Five on a safari, head to South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana or Namibia. You can see all five animals – the lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard, and black rhinoceros – in each of these destinations, although they may be spread across several parks.

A family safari is an unforgettable adventure and we’d highly recommend it. That said, certain game lodges have age restrictions for children, and some safaris set a minimum age for safety reasons. Talk to our Destination Specialists to find the best family safari for you.

Yes – it’s easy to combine a safari with a beach holiday on a multi centre holiday. In Kenya, you can round off your safari with a short flight to the coast. Or, hop over to the idyllic beaches of Zanzibar or Mozambique, or an Indian Ocean island like Mauritius or Sri Lanka.

Lion

The king of Africa’s Big Five, lions are among the most feared and revered animals.
